“Hands in the air. Drop to your knees,” was shouted at them. Blinded by
a flashlight, it was impossible to identify the speaker.
Martha huffed. “There is no way I’m going to my knees, young man.” She yelled at the light.
“Me either. I’ll never be able to get up again.” Ally agreed and put her hands on her hips in protest.
Jack
shook his head but quickly dropped to his knees. Only he would get
caught while snooping with two grandmas who refused to listen to the
police. He hung his head and pretended he was somewhere else, anywhere
else.
The
cop lowered his flashlight and brought out a pair of cuffs. He started
walking towards the group but stumbled when he took in Ally and Martha.
He shook his head. “Are you ladies willing to go quietly into my squad
car?” He asked.
Ally
and Martha took one look at the cop and nodded. “Wherever you want to
go officer,” Martha responded. Oh great. Now they were flirting with the
arresting officer. Jack waited patiently on his knees until the cop
reached him. He was cuffed and then dragged to his feet.
“Come on ladies,” the officer stated while pulling Jack to the cop car.
There
were two squad cars in Damien’s driveway. Betty, Rosemary, and Rose
were already sitting in the backseat of the other car. They waved as
Jack passed with Ally and Martha in tow. Jack shook his head at them and
looked for Izzy. She sat in her car and mouthed sorry
but didn’t make a move to help them. Jack knew it wouldn’t help
anything if Izzy got out of the car. She’d just get arrested as well but
still he stuck his tongue out at her. The cop scanned the area to see
where Jack’s tongue was pointed. Izzy immediately started up the car
and, with a squeal of the tires, took off. Jack chuckled.
“Aren’t
you going to turn on the siren,” Martha asked once the cop was back in
the patrol car and they were headed to the police station. Ally bobbed
her head in excitement. Jack hung his head.
The cop chuckled. “Normally perps don’t like the siren on.”
“Why not?” Ally leaned forward to get a better look at the officer.
“They don’t want to be seen being hauled to the police station,” was the officer’s perfectly acceptable answer.
Ally
and Martha huffed. They leaned back and crossed their arms across their
chests. “Well, that’s just boring,” Martha said to Ally. Ally nodded in
agreement.
The
quiet didn’t last long. “So, officer,” Martha began. “Are you single?”
Jack tried to make himself disappear at this point but unfortunately
closing his eyes and wishing he was anywhere else in the world but in
the back of a cop car that smelled like piss with two elderly
troublemakers turned matchmakers was a bust.
“I’m
single ladies,” the officer readily answered. “But don’t get your hopes
up for your granddaughters. I’m also gay.” Jack prayed for a hole in
the floor of the sedan to open up and swallow him whole.
Ally
and Martha clapped in glee. The officer turned around in surprise
before quickly returning his attention to the road. The quick look was
all Jack needed. It appeared that he’d been arrested by a man hot enough
to be Mr. January in the police calendar. Although it was dark in the
car, he couldn’t miss the curly brown hair and eyes the color of rich
chocolate. He’d bet the man was made of muscles as well. He nearly
sighed but caught himself just as he saw Ally and Martha looking at him
for a response. He buried his face in his chest. Luckily, they had
arrived at the police station.

“The five female seniors’ involvement in all of this, especially the investigation, is both hilarious and endearing.”
Amazon Reviewer ~ Vicki Smith
“I would recommend this book (and am) to friend that read. It was light hearted, quick to read, and fun in all the best ways.”
Amazon Reviewer ~ E.L. Lindley
“…there
is something delightfully addictive once you allow yourself to get
caught up in the mad-cap shenanigans of Jack’s life and, I literally
couldn’t put the book down, reading it in one sitting.”
“Jack
Gets His Man is the perfect antidote to the stresses of real life,
offering an alternate reality in the style of a fun sit-com. It would
make the ideal beach read and any reader wishing to while away a couple
of hours with a funny, entertaining romp, can’t go wrong with this one.”
Amazon Reviewer ~ C. Gerber
“The
“gray haired detectives” are back, which I’m happy to say are in their
usual rare form. There is nothing feeble about them and they use their
skills to do recon missions, perform accounting audits, and get in a
little bit of trouble with the local police. In their spare time they
play matchmaker to the single people in their church, whether or not the
poor souls want any help.”
Amazon Reviewer ~ Jo-Anne
“D.E. Haggerty writes wonderfully funny mysteries that have lots of detail and chuckles throughout.”
Amazon Reviewer ~ Karen O.
“This
is for you if you like female sleuths, hilarious situations as well as a
great combination of (cozy) suspense, humour and romance. A funny and
also suspenseful book to read again.”
Amazon Reviewer ~ Christine Lee
“It
hit all the marks for me: plot, fun characters, twists, romance and
humor. This one has it all. If D.E. Haggerty is not already on your
lists, you need to add her! I know I have.”
Amazon Reviewer ~ Julia
“The
Author give us an exquisite romantic cozy mystery, with humorous
dialogues, playful situations, captivating characters and a very
intriguing mystery.”

Murder Mystery and Dating Mayhem
I was born and raised in Wisconsin, but think I’m a European. After spending my senior year of high school in Germany, I developed a bad case of wanderlust that is yet to be cured. My flying Dutch husband and I have lived in Ohio, Virginia, the Netherlands, Germany and now Istanbul. We still haven’t decided if we want to settle down somewhere – let alone where. I’m leaning towards somewhere I can learn to surf even though the hubby thinks that’s a less than sound way to decide where to live. Although I’ve been a military policewoman, a commercial lawyer, and a B&B owner, I think with writing I may have finally figured out what I want to be when I grow up. That’s assuming I ever grow up, of course. Between playing tennis, running much slower than I would like, trying to adopt every stray dog within a 5-mile radius, traveling to exotic new locales, singing off tune, drinking entirely too many adult beverages, addictively watching new movies and reading books like they are going out of style, I write articles for a local expat magazine and various websites, review other indie authors’ books, write a blog about whatever comes to mind and am working on my sixth book.
